Imám Husayn holds a central place in Shí’i Islam as both a symbol of redemptive suffering and divine justice. The Báb’s devotional writings, particularly His Sahífih A‘mál-i Sanah, exalt Husayn as a cosmic martyr whose sacrifice transcends time. This study explores The Báb’s themes of mourning, eschatological fulfillment, and divine proximity. How does his portrayal of Ḥusayn relate to His station as the Qá’im? What is the theological significance of his call for weeping? Through textual analysis, this paper examines how The Báb reinterprets Shí’i devotional motifs while inaugurating a new spiritual paradigm.
